Testimonials - Custom Tours

Our family of 7, ages 18-82 years old, went on a 9 day land based trip and had an amazing experience! Our planners were great in matching beautiful and clean accommodations and a diversity of activities to our families needs. They were very helpful and prompt on planning. We couldn't have asked for better planners and they gave us everything we needed to feel well prepared.
Our guides were amazing! Another good fit for our family. Very knowledgable, kind, respectful, fun, knew local people on each island, we felt safe, they shared their favorite nature spots, foods, coffee houses etc. They were so good at timing all the drivers, activities, lunches and dinners so that there was very little wasted time. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, safe, close to town to enjoy the local life, friendly and charming, and served breakfasts that were local and delicious.

The trip of a lifetime with Galakiwi. The tour leads were the best and so passionate about the Galapagos. Very well organised and activity packed. Thank you!

Galakiwi took the time to understand my family's needs for this trip. 3 grown sons, my wife, and I were able to have a magical time in these islands, we did plenty of activities, all the while feeling like we are part of the island's ecosystem. From the moment we were met by an agent at the airport to help us through the additional steps to get to the islands, we already knew we were in great hands. It’s one thing to plan and coordinate our vacation; it’s another to physically guide us through the obstacles that can arise on any travel. We have awesome restaurant recommendations, we’re given the right amount of information on activities and islands alike, and we did not feel like we missed out on anything. An amazing group of people who truly make up an awesome travel agency.

Galakiwi is an extraordinary operation that combines professionalism, community and conservation support, deep knowledge of the destination, while also being able to keep it reasonably priced, a rare thing in the Galapagos.

Laura at Galakiwi put together a fabulous private 10-day tour itinerary that met our preferences. The tour went smoothly from start to finish and our guide Pablo was fantastic! Thanks to all the folks at Galakiwi for helping us have a wonderful vacation!
